Bad credit mortgages are becoming increasingly available, as lenders recognise that not everyone has a perfect credit rating.

This means that even if you have had financial difficulties in the past, there may still be options available to you 

One option is to seek the help of a specialist mortgage broker, who can advise you on the best lenders and products for your individual circumstances. They may also be able to help you to improve your credit rating, by offering guidance on how to pay off debts, for example.

Another option is to consider a guarantor mortgage, where a family member or friend agrees to guarantee your mortgage payments. This can help to reassure lenders that you are a reliable borrower, even if your credit history is less than perfect.

It’s worth noting that bad credit mortgages may come with higher interest rates and fees, as lenders consider you to be a higher risk borrower. However, if you can make your payments on time and demonstrate that you are a responsible borrower, you may be able to re-mortgage in the future at a more competitive rate.

If you are struggling to obtain a mortgage due to bad credit, it’s important to seek advice from a reputable source.
